Blackys `64 Chev project

Started this one over the Easter break last year, original plan was a real quick rebuild for a fun car but as usual it escalated into far more than the original plan 
What I started with -
It was originally gonna be a real quick respray - at one stage I wasnt even going to paint the door jambs - but you all know how it works, where do you stop? Chassis came out and was blasted, all the rubbers and tie rod ends , etc were replaced , motor given a Dulux overhaul
We painted it two weeks ago - laced the roof thanks to Devilrod`s lacing advice
First step is to lay down a base coat , we used silver metallic
Then we masked up the panels to be laced
and laid the lace over
Next we blew 2 coats of candy through the lace and ended up with this - the bloke in the pic is my mate Damo who is the bloke on the spraygun.
And then we threw the topcoats on and voila!
The next day we painted the rest of the car
and thats basically how it looks now - I have put the side windows back in it and got the door buttons working and am in the process of painting all the side trims and the bumpers etc silver.
Plan is for a lowrider style rig- have 100 spoke reversed wire wheels with skinny whitewalls , leopard skin door trims with angel hair dash and headtrim and purple carpet - lotsa people wont like it but the whole idea is to have a bit of fun in it - its a party car.
